In both MiniSub and Jamstash, podcasts for Rachel Maddow (http://podcastfeeds.nbcnews.com/audio/podcast/MSNBC-MADDOW-NETCAST-MP3.xml) and This American Life (http://feeds.thisamericanlife.org/talpodcast) can't be read. They're in Subsonic and play fine through the default interface, but through MiniSub they don't show up at all (and any podcasts below them in the podcast list don't show up either), and in Jamstash they do show up, but the tracks have no titles, aren't playable, and have durations of "NaN:NaN:NaN".

I also see this problem in the iPhone app SubHub (https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/subhub/id665005634?mt=8) -- these podcasts (and podcasts below them in the list) don't show up in the interface at all.

I filed a bug at Jamstash's GitHub repo as well (https://github.com/tsquillario/Jamstash/issues/168), but since the behavior was so similar between the two apps, I wondered if it might be a bug with Subsonic's API itself.

    Could you please try to install Subsonic 5.0.beta1 and see if the problem is still there?

    I did some changes to the JSON API (which many apps use) that might have fixed this.

    Thanks!

    Yep, that seemed to fix it. Thanks.
